PSG vs Monaco: Preview & Predictions

Who will win the first domestic trophy of the season in France? All eyes will be on the country when PSG take on Monaco in the Coupe de la Ligue final in what should be a mouth-watering match between the two heavyweights.

PSG are the holders and continue to dominate every tournament they enter in France. Last year the two teams met in this final and it was a one sided affair when PSG beat Monaco 4-1. PSG forward Edinson Cavani scored two goals that day.

The final will be played in a neutral venue at Bordeaux which is only fair to both teams, but PSG will have a little extra miles to travel.

In the league both teams are in superb form where PSG have not lost a game since January 21st and Monaco have not lost a game in their last 15 matches.

These two teams currently sit in 1st and 2nd place and Monaco are the current champions so there will be a lot riding on this game, and we should be in for a classic final.
